Pastured Poultry on Salad Greens

We thought we could salvage some seedlings we planted in this bed in Feb. but the aphids were just everywhere...so hens to the rescue!
It is so great to see chickens living in this environment and as farmers we have such great control of what they eat and how they impact the land by being able to move them on and off areas.

Planting Native Fruit Trees

Chokecherry trees from NM State Forestry 


Some of the Chokecherries had incredible root systems. These two are going to get planted in the ground somewhere, probably trade for smaller trees of different species.

The Four Seasons

This super wet snow came five days ago  
It was sunny and warm just an hour before this photo was taken
